When Hemi Zucker's 8-year-old son began refusing to leave the computer for the dinner table, things came to a head.

His wife, frustrated by the many hours a week their son plays games online and his vehemence to stretch out the fun, banned the computer altogether.

"The computer is the 'c' word in our house," said Zucker, a Los Angeles resident.
